host an ice cream social

I shared our new ice cream social collection invitation and thank you notes with you a few weeks ago and today I’m sharing one of my favorite childhood ice cream treats along with the collection’s printables. I mean seriously, don’t these push-ups take you back?! For me they conjure up memories of my sweet grandmother and long summer walks. {teary smile}

Throughout the rest of this week I’ll share the entire dessert table with you including some tips and ideas on how to serve this fragile treat, I’ll share a fun and inexpensive favor idea that the kids just loved and even show you a few DIY crafts.

Our ice cream social printables collection offers ice cream cupcake picks with coordinating orange cupcake wrappers,

ice cream subway art beverage wrappers… these just make me smile!,

…and the kiddos liked them too!

ice cream cone napkin rings on our new bright dot napkins (square plates and beverage napkins carry the same colors, but in various patterns),

 

large square dessert tags (two pre-filled sheets and one blank so you can personalize your own),

cello toppers, perfect for 4″ mini cello bags and shown with sugar paper round butter cookies from our partners at Sweet Tooth Cottage,

a blue strip with orange chevron border banner (This is a perfect example of how you can introduce a new color. Our printables are aqua and orange, but I really wanted to use yellow, so I picked up this striped yellow and white fabric from the fabric store and used it to cover my backboard, then I hotglued my banner to yellow ribbon and finally I covered my dessert table in a yellow tablecloth. I love how it all came together.),

 an ice cream subway art mat,

and last, but never least, favor tags.

Remember, throughout the rest of this week I’ll share the entire dessert table with you including some tips and ideas on how to serve this fragile treat, I’ll share a fun and inexpensive favor idea that the kids just loved and even show you a few DIY crafts.
